    Penelitian  ini bertujuan untuk memahami lebih dalam penerapan Enterprise Risk Management pada usaha percetakan UD. X. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode kualitatif, dengan menggunakan metode wawancara, observasi, serta analisa dokumen-dokumen perusahaan. Pada dasarnya perusahaan telah melakukan manajemen risiko, namun masih belum menggunakan pendekatan yang sistematis. Hal ini mengakibatkan masalah-masalah yang ada di dalam perusahaan belum dapat diatasi dengan baik. Perusahaan akan menggunakan ISO 31000 sebagai pendekatan manajemen risiko perusahaan agar risiko perusahaan dapat diatasi dengan baik. Terdapat beberapa risiko lain yang belum teridentifikasi oleh UD. X, misalnya risiko pengendalian internal terkait code of conduct serta pencatatan dan penyimpanan dokumen. Risiko-risiko tersebut memiliki perlakuan risiko dan cara pengelolaan yang berbeda-beda. Beberapa pengelolaan risiko yang telah dilakukan oleh perusahaan dirasa kurang tepat, sehingga penulis memberikan rekomendasi yang lebih tepat bagi perusahaan menggunakan Enterprise Risk Management berbasis ISO 31000

    The Effect of Small Group Tutors on Student Engagement in the Computer Laboratory Lecture

    Get PDF
    Background: Student engagement is widely recognised as being influential on learning and achievement in higher education. What is less clear is how the knowledge transfers, i.e., the process of engagement by the student with any new forms of teaching demonstrated by the teacher. Aim: To investigate the effect of small group tutors on student engagement in the computer laboratory lecture. Methods: Participants were undergraduate, second year BSc Public Health students taking the Health Information Systems II module. Teaching consisted of 12 x 2-hour face-to-to face classes. Tutors were assigned to groups of 6/7 students from weeks 5-12. Quantitative data from the Irish Survey of Student Engagement was collected in week 12 and analysed using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences. Qualitative data from a 1-minute pre-and post-module CAT, tutor post lesson appraisals and two focus groups (one student and one tutor group, respectively) were analysed thematically. Findings: This study provided evidence that student engagement and learning was indeed enhanced by the addition of small group tutors in the computer laboratory lecture. In addition, students’ attitude to engaging with their programme of study improved and their positivity towards learning increased as the term progressed. Furthermore, there was evidence of an improved student experience and improved personal development that was highly valued by the students

    Barriers and facilitators to the implementation of a community-based, multidisciplinary, family focused childhood weight management programme in Ireland: a qualitative study

    Get PDF
    Objective: To explore the barriers and facilitators experienced by those implementing a government-funded, community-based childhood weight management programme. Design: Qualitative using semistructured interviews. Setting Two geographical regions in the south and west of Ireland. Participants 29 national-level and local-level stakeholders responsible for implementing the programme, including professionals from dietetics, psychology, public health nursing, physiotherapy, health promotion and administration. Methods Framework analysis was used to identify barriers and facilitators, which were mapped onto six levels of factors influencing implementation outlined by Grol and Wensing: the innovation, the individual professional, the patient, the social context, the organisational context and the external environment. Results Most barriers occurred at the level of the organisational context. For all stakeholders, barriers arose due to the multidisciplinary nature of the programme, including the lack of role clarity and added complexity of working in different locations. Health professionals’ low-perceived self-efficacy in approaching the subject of weight with parents and parental resistance to hearing about their child’s weight status were barriers to programme implementation at the individual professional and patient levels, respectively. The main facilitators of implementation, occurring at the level of the health professional, included stakeholders’ recognition of the need for a weight management programme and personal interest in the area of childhood obesity. Having a local lead and supportive colleagues were further implementation drivers. Conclusions This study highlights the complexities associated with implementing a multidisciplinary childhood weight management programme, particularly translating such a programme to a community setting. Our results suggest the assignment of clear roles and responsibilities, the provision of sufficient practical training and resources, and organisational support play pivotal roles in overcoming barriers to change. This evidence can be used to develop an implementation plan to support the translation of interventions into real-world settings

    Knowledge, attitudes and beliefs of parents regarding fever in children: a Danish interview study

    Get PDF
    Aim: Fever and febrile illness are some of the most common conditions managed by parents. The aim of this study was to examine the knowledge, attitudes and beliefs of parents around fever in children under five years of age. Methods: Between July and August 2014, a convenience sample of parents was invited to participate in this study in Copenhagen, Denmark. Results were analysed thematically using a constant comparison method. Results: Twenty-one parents participated in the study. Five themes emerged from the data: parental concern, help-seeking behaviour, parental knowledge, parent fever management practices and initiatives. Parents used a range of information sources to obtain their knowledge on management of fever; however, due to issues of trust with these sources, reassurance was often sought from healthcare practitioners. There was a desire amongst most parents for initiatives to be introduced which provide general information on how to manage fever in children. Conclusion: Parents were very concerned when their child was febrile and instigated practices obtained from accessible information sources. This study has identified a need for specific and reliable information initiatives to be introduced as a means of reducing parental concern and ensuring evidence-based strategies for managing a child with fever
